Kushan Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'm not quite sure what's causing this rather annoying bug, whether it's firefox itself or just strange website coding, but it seems that when I middle click on SOME links (to open them in a new tab), it opens up the same link in multiple tabs, depending on how long I hold down the middle mouse button. Usually this means that some links always end up opening two tabs, which can be very annoying. It doesn't happen on all links, just certain ones. The links on the front page of neowin for the recent forum posts (on the classic layout at least) are a good example of this, but links on google don't suffer from this problem. Some other sites have the same thing, which leads me to believe it's just some weird way firefox handles certain links. Anyone else have any similar problem? Or better yet, know how to fix it (possibly with either a firefox option or a greasemonkey script) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaZ Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 its a feature, clicking the scroll wheel does the same thing, unless the middle button you refer to is actually the scroll wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've noticed that firefox 2 sometimes treats a single-click as a double-click, not sure how or why, it's annoying but not too annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I meant, I didn't think it made much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
